I Am Sorry

I am sorry, for all the heartaches,
For the countless tears,
Blood that has been spilled for 'goodness' sake,
And all of us afraid, hypnotized by fears,

I am sorry.
I do not know what to do.
I cannot understand this reality,
Of which only hatred is due,

Sorry, I cried with a broken heart,
My soul tainted with despair,
All I want is a new start,
Or at least for the world to quickly repair,

I cannot keep this grief,
It has blinded me from truth,
I cannot keep this belief,
That revenge is our only proof,

I am sorry. I am trying my best.
I changed and strive for better,
Not only for me, but for all the rest,
Humanity is my family, forget it never,

Responsibility lies within eyes that seek,
Hearts that beat and souls that peaked.
Do not leave me in heartache,
Do not leave me to sleep,

Shake those at rest and in slumber,
I am sorry but not for long,
Love is the answer,
A kind humanity is where we belong.

To each and everyone, responsibility lies within us, to change the world.
